Chapter 1270

The miniman uses an immortal killer move to grow to human size, wings vanishing, leaving him an unimpressive old man with messy purple hair. Tai Bai Yun Sheng kneels in tears and calls him master, and the old man recalls giving him a time path true inheritance. Ying Wu Xie briefs him: their sect’s plan succeeded, but with unexpected mishaps. The old man calls it a pity that heaven’s will won by a margin, says hope is not lost, and decides to join Xue Hu against Central Continent while he is still conscious. He introduces himself to Xue Hu, already informed by Lady Wan Shou, as Purple Mountain True Monarch. ^{ch. 1270}

Purple Mountain True Monarch’s few attacks prove extremely effective, turning the battle against Central Continent’s two rank eights and Edge Link Camp. After more than ten rounds, Wei Ling Yang and Bi Chen Tian are forced back into Edge Link Camp. The peak lords cheer. With Central Continent no longer attacking the formation, the battle’s result is obvious, and Zhao Lian Yun’s group turns pale as their hopes of survival dwindle. Outside, Fang Yuan notes Shadow Sect’s ties to Snowy Mountain but doubts they run deep. His qi luck sensation confirms Ying Wu Xie’s group is still inside, so he keeps waiting outside. ^{ch. 1270}

A thousand li away, Black Extremity and Flood Extremity descend from the sky. Black Extremity uses his Gu worms and the slope before them shines with rainbow light, revealing a Gu formation the two step inside. Flood Extremity senses the formation is grand but incomplete, like a lake missing its link to the sea. Black Extremity praises him as a quasi-great grandmaster of water path, already able to read other paths through his own. Black Extremity says it is only a sub formation with a corresponding main formation, and Flood Extremity works out for himself that the main one is Snowy Mountain’s fate reversing sacrificial refinement formation. Black Extremity built it while posing as Sun Ming Lu near Lady Wan Shou, and Xue Hu, not proficient in formation path, never found the backdoor. Activating the sub formation will break the main formation and draw Reverse Flow River here, sweeping all within ten thousand li of Snowy Mountain blessed land. ^{ch. 1270}

Inside Reverse Flow River, no Gu worm can be used, even by a rank eight, and attacks from outside only reverse and reflect back. Because both formations still influence the river, Black Extremity can arrange the current’s order once the main formation collapses. Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun would be at the front, where the two rank sevens can reach them and take them alive, Lady Wan Shou’s side behind them, and Central Continent’s rank eights at the end. Flood Extremity worries the two might instead be washed away like Ren Zu and fall behind the others, ruining the plan. Black Extremity admits the biggest flaw, but says river travel ignores cultivation and strength. Flood Extremity objects that the result is not assured, and Black Extremity answers that this is the limit for a rank seven against four rank eight experts and the whole of Snowy Mountain blessed land, leaving Flood Extremity to concede. Black Extremity reassures him that they are only part of the arrangements and that Lord South Desolation definitely has other plans. ^{ch. 1270}
